What type of interaction is there between a charged object and a neutral object?
A charged object attracts the neutral object by polarising it.
Why is the number of electrons more than nucleus in the sea of electrons model?
In any neutral object the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons. All metallic elements contain more than one proton in the nucleus. Therefore there will be more electrons than atomic nuclei.
How many electrons does an atom with a negative charge have?
It will have more electrons. Electrons carry a negative charge that is equivalent to the positive charge carried by protons. Thus, if an object is negatively charged, it will have more electrons than protons. By the same reasoning, if an object is positively charged, it will have more protons than electrons. As you may have guessed, a neutral object will have the same amount of electrons and protons, causing all the charges to cancel out. Therefore, if a compound has a negative sign added to the end of it, such as NO3-, that means the compound has one more electron than it would if it were neutral.
Why do some charged objects pull each other while other charged objects push each other?
The charged object may induce a separation of charges in the neutral object.The charged object may induce a separation of charges in the neutral object.The charged object may induce a separation of charges in the neutral object.The charged object may induce a separation of charges in the neutral object.
What is the overall charge when an atom has more protons than electrons?
It has a positive charge.
What can you say about the number of protons and electrons on a neutral object?
The numbers of protons and of electrons in a neutral object are the same.
How is it possible for an object to be neutral if it contains millions of electrons?
Although a substance may contain millions of negatively charged electrons, it also contains millions of positively charged protons. The object will be neutral when the number of protons equals the number of electrons.
Why does a neutral object attract a neutral object?
In a electrostatically neutral object there are equal numbers of charged particles (electrons and protons).
When a negatively charged object touches a neutral object does the neutral object gain or lose electrons or protons?
It gains electrons. So if it gains electrons, then the neutral object becomes negatively charged as well.
How it is possible for a neutral object to be attracted to a charged object?
Because of the electrons and protons the object has
What is the charge of an object that has an equal number of protons and the electrons?
Assuming you mean the charge of an atom with equal numbers of protons and electrons, the charge of the atom would be zero/neutral.
How does an object get a neutral charge?
It has equal numbers of protons and electrons.
How does the number of electrons relate to the number of protons in a neutral atom?
In normal matter, the only charged elementary particles are protons and electrons. An electrically neutral object will have exactly as many protons as electrons. A charged object will have slightly more of one than the other. But under normal conditions, the difference is extremely small compared to the total numbers.
What type of interaction is there between a charged object and a neutral object?
A charged object attracts the neutral object by polarising it.
What kind of charge can move from object to object?
Electrons can move from object to object. Electrons have a negative charge. So if an object is determined to have a positive charge, then some of the electrons have moved from the object to somewhere else. Something with a neutral charge has the same number of electrons [-] and protons [+]. If electrons [-] leave, then there will be more protons, and a net positive charge. If an object gains electrons, then the object has a net negative charge.
What is the charge of an object that has an equal number of protons and electrons?
Yes, protons always have a positive charge.
When is an object electrically charged?
The Neutral is bonded to the ground at the FIRST main breaker, which is usually just as it comes from the meter. In normal residential applications, power comes from the meter, then to a panel. In that panel, the ground and neutral are bonded. If that panel feeds another panel, the second panel has to have its ground and neutral separated. Mobile homes have to have a main breaker outside the house, so the neutral is grounded there, and inside the mobile home, they are separated.
